A visit to the Athirappilly Waterfalls is a must for adventure seekers. The waterfall is surrounded by lush green forests that provide the perfect trekking opportunity. The view from the top is stunning and definitely worth the climb.
Munnar is a haven for adventure enthusiasts. Trekking to the Anamudi Peak, the tallest peak in South India, is a prime activity. The tea estates in Munnar offer cycling and plantation walks as well. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, opt for rappelling or rock climbing at Fun Forest Adventure Park.
Thekkady is great for those looking for an action-packed day. Start with a bamboo rafting experience on the Periyar River in the morning with Muddy Boots. Go for the Jungle Patrol, a trekking and camping programme, which is a great way to explore the jungle of Thekkady. End the day at Pandikuzhi, a location perfect for nature photography and trekking.
Finish off your adventure trip in Alleppey with a kayaking session on the backwaters. Visit the Vembanad Lake if you have extra time on your hands for more water sports. Vembanad Lake is also home to a bird sanctuary making it a top spot for bird watching.
If you have more time, add scuba diving in Kovalam Beach and paragliding in Vagamon. If you have less time, skip Thekkady and opt for a day trip to Valparai. You can also choose between water sports and a houseboat stay in Alleppey according to your preference.
